## What is Hanas Shadowing?

Shadowing is the fastest way to turn the English you understand into English you can actually say.

Hanas Shadowing is a shadowing app, built for one thing: listening to a native voice and speaking along with it until English comes out on its own — from just 3 minutes a day.

"I can read it, but I can't catch it when someone says it."
"By the time I've built the sentence, the conversation has moved on."
If that sounds like you, start with shadowing.

■ What shadowing does
Shadowing means speaking along with a native recording, a beat behind, without stopping to translate. Because you can't pause, your brain is forced to process English in real time — the exact skill grammar books never build. Interpreters have trained this way for decades, and second-language acquisition research backs it up.

Keep it up and three things change:
・You start catching fast, connected speech
・Your rhythm, stress and intonation stop sounding flat
・Sentences come out without going through your native language first

■ Designed for shadowing, not bolted on
▼ Line-synced scripts
The script follows the audio and highlights the line you're on, so you never lose your place.

▼ Hide the text with one tap
Shadow with the script first, then hide it and follow by ear alone. That second step is where real listening is built.

▼ Rewind as often as you like
Jump back a few seconds and take the same line again until it feels right.

▼ Natural, native-speed audio
Every line is recorded at real conversational pace, not slowed-down textbook English.

■ AI scores your shadowing at the phoneme level
Just record yourself and AI grades you on accuracy, prosody, fluency and completeness. You get a score for every word, plus a breakdown of the exact sounds you nail and the ones you miss. "I hope that got through" becomes "I know what didn't."
(Headphones recommended)

■ Instant Composition closes the loop
Shadowing builds the sound. Instant Composition builds the reflex: see a sentence in your own language and say it in English before you can overthink it. Together, they turn input into speech.

■ 150+ sections, from basics to real conversation
Review the grammar that conversation actually runs on while you practice across 150+ sections. Learn through topics that fit your goal — everyday conversation, business, travel, TOEIC prep and more.

■ Every rep gets recorded
Your streak, the number of sentences you've spoken and your study time are tracked automatically, and your pronunciation scores are charted over time — so progress you can't feel is still progress you can see.

■ Tap any word you don't know
Tap a word mid-lesson to translate and save it. Your own vocabulary list builds itself as you learn.

■ 3 minutes a day is enough
Lessons are short by design. Shadowing works because you do it daily, not because you do it for hours.

■ Who it's for
・People who read English fine but can't catch it spoken
・Anyone who freezes when it's their turn to talk
・Anyone unsure whether their pronunciation actually lands
・Anyone who wants to train in the gaps of the day

Start shadowing. Start speaking.
